TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for Wisconsin

Wisconsin's State Bureau of Procurement administers procurement policy for all agencies and UW System campuses, posting solicitations and standing contracts through the VendorNet portal. Wisconsin holds a NASPO ValuePoint data communications participating addendum with Cisco specifically, a discount-off-list-price structure available to state agencies and UW System campuses, which means a public buyer here doesn't need to justify a sole-source Cisco purchase — the contract vehicle already exists and covers Catalyst switching, wireless, and related data communications equipment.

Fort McCoy, a 60,000-acre Army Reserve installation between Sparta and Tomah, trains more than 100,000 service members annually as a Total Force Training Center, representing sustained federal network demand for a facility of its size. On the civilian side, UW Health's University Hospital in Madison is a 614-bed academic referral center and one of only two Level I trauma centers in Wisconsin, tied to the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Wisconsin's DPI also supports E-Rate filings for schools and libraries statewide through its Applicant Web Portal guidance, giving K-12 districts a path to fund Catalyst and wireless refreshes alongside the state's existing Cisco contract.
